  Walking into the Hangzhou National Version Museum, it is hard to imagine that this building like the painting in the Song Dynasty was once an abandoned mine. Changing the scene, the "beautiful beauty" in the paintings of the Song Dynasty emerges on the paper.

Every brick, every edge and every corner here seems to hide Chinese civilization in Jiangnan.

  "People walking in the pavilion are like swimming in the middle of a painting."

According to Wang Shu, the chief architect of the building, the Hangzhou National Edition Museum is based on the principles of landscape painting in the Song Dynasty, and uses modern concepts and construction techniques to create an artistic conception of mountains and water.

  "Hangzhou National Version Museum is also known as Wenrun Pavilion. Where is the 'run'? Celadon gave us a way to solve the problem. There are screen fans made of Longquan celadon in front of several individual buildings in the museum. This inspiration comes from painters in the Southern Song Dynasty. Ma Yuan's "Hua Deng Serving a Banquet" is not only made of warm, jade-like material, but also can be rotated, opened and closed as needed, so as to protect the collections in the museum." Wang Shu said.

  Building construction is the form, and content construction is the core.
